  • Michael Brocken, the British Folk Revival 1944-2002. / Britta Sweers
    FZMw Jg. 7 (2004) S. 105–112 Michael Brocken, The British Folk Revival 1944-2002. Ashgate Popular and Folk Music Series Aldershot: Ashgate, 2003, ISBN: 0-7546-3282-2 Rezension von Britta Sweers –1– Die traditionelle Musik Großbritanniens und Irlands erlebte nach dem Zweiten Welt- krieg ein Revival, das seit den späten 1960er Jahren auch einen starken Einfluss auf Deutschland ausgeübt hat. Speziell die englische Revival-Szene hat dabei eine wichtige Vorreiter-Rolle sogar in ganz Westeuropa gespielt. Dennoch ist die englische "Folk- musik" (der Begriff steht im Deutschen synonym für die Musik des sogenannten Second English Revivals der 1950er/60er Jahre) außerhalb der Britischen Inseln weit weniger bekannt als die schottischen und irischen Richtungen. Dies spiegelt sich auch in der Literatur wider – es gibt (selbst in Großbritannien) nur wenige neuere Studien sowohl zu englischen Musiktraditionen als auch zu den Revivalbewegungen oder gar zum Folk Rock. Michael Brocken, Senior Lecturer für Creative and Performing Arts in Liverpool und Radio-Moderator, stößt daher mit seinem Buch The British Folk Revival 1944-2002 durchaus in eine empfindliche Lücke. –2– Die verschiedenen Kapitel der Studie geben einen guten Einblick in die Geschichte dieser Musikrichtung. Da die Entwicklungen der Nachkriegszeit ohne Kenntnis der Ideologien des sogenannten First Folk Revivals (ca. 1880-1920er Jahre) nur schwer nachvollziehbar sind, steht am Beginn des Buches zunächst eine kritische Auseinander- setzung mit den frühen Sammlern um Cecil Sharp (1859-1924) und Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958). So wurde in dieser Phase erstens das Lied- und Balladenmaterial zusammengetragen, welches die Grundlage für das spätere Revival bilden sollte, und zweitens die zentrale Institution – die English Folk Dance and Song Society ( EFDSS ) – gegründet, welche nach wie vor als (aufgrund ihrer eher elitären Haltung nicht unum- strittener) Kern der Pflege von Volks- und Tanzmusik in England gilt.

It has been an immense privilege to study under David and his thoughtful, open, and rigorous approach has fundamentally shaped the way I think about history. I would also like to Judith Coffin, who has been patiently mentored me since I was a hapless undergraduate. Judy’s ideas and suggestions have constantly opened up new ways of thinking for me and her elegance as a writer will be something to which I will always aspire. I would like to express my appreciation to Karl Hagstrom Miller, who has poignantly altered the way I listen to and encounter music since the first time he shared the recordings of Ellington’s Blanton-Webster band with me when I was 20 years old.

Jag spelar och sjunger solo eller tillsammans med goda vänner från både folkmusik och klassiskt. Som 10-åring förälskade jag mig i nyckelharpan vid första ögonkastet! Barndomens direkta glädje av instrument och melodier övergick efterhand i ett växande intresse för folkmusiken som genre. Jag mötte musik och människor från hela världen, och för mig var det liksom samma språk vi alla talade, ett språk där kopplingen mellan musik och dans är direkt och självklar.

  • Max Peter Baumann
    Max Peter Baumann TRADITIONSZUSAMMENHANG UND REPERTOIRE IN DER VOLKSMUSIK AUS FRANKEN Wie in ganz Deutschland, so war auch in Franken nach dem 2. Weltkrieg eine merkliche Zasur 1m Bereich der Uberlieferung von Volkslied, -musik und -tanz zu verzeichnen. Das "Wo man singet, laß dich ruhig nieder" war nach oem Zusammenbruch problematisch geworden und mündete in den 60er Jahren 1n d1e von Franz Josef Degennardt kritisch gestellte Frage: "Wo s1nd unsere Lieder, unsere alten Lieder?". Er selbst stellte in po1nt1erter Scharfe fest: "Tot s1nd unsere Lieder/unsere alten Lieder/ Lehrer naben s1e zerblssen/Kurzoehoste sie verklampft/Braune Horden 1 totgescnr 1en ISt 1ef e l 1 n den Dreck gestampft" ). In pragnanter Fonr wird m1t wen1gen Zeilen der gesellschaftspolitische Mißbrauch von ued und M.JsiK kritiSiert: Das pädagogisch-ideologisch- beschonigte Nat1onall1ed des 19. Jahrhunderts, das Fahrtenlied der Wandervogel-Bewegung und schließlich das HJ- und Kampflied der Naz1zeit. Die überlieferten Inhalte und Formen wurden probiematisJert, n1cht zuletzt durch e1ne Junge Generation, die vorausgehend die Erfahrung mit dem kritischen anglo-amerikanischen Folksong gemacht hatte. In den ersten Liederbuchern wurde nach dem Kriege zwar teilweise noch auf das Erbe der Fahrten! Jeder zurückgegriffen, doch ergab sich seit den 50er Jahren unter dem Einfluß des Europagedankens mehr und mehr e1ne Offnung zu dem europa1schen Lied hin, nachdem das Bemühen, neue Jugendlieder zu schaffen, erfolglos war. Leitbild wurde der Gedanke, endlich 1m Lied von der "Volksgemeinschaft" weg zur "Völkergemeinschaft" h 1nzukommen. 1srae 11 sehe, osteu ropa 1sehe, f ranzös 1 sehe, irisehe LIeder und amerJkanJsche Folksongs und Spirituals waren gefragt und wurden in den Dienst einer Internationalen Verständigung genommen 2).

Introduction Electric Junk: Krautrock’s Identity Crisis If there is any musical subculture to which this modern age of online music consumption has been particularly kind, it is certainly the obscure, groundbreaking, and oft misunderstood German pop music phenomenon known as “krautrock”. That krautrock’s appeal to new generations of musicians and fans both in Germany and abroad continues to grow with each passing year is a testament to the implicitly iconoclastic nature of the style; krautrock still sounds odd, eccentric, and even confrontational approximately twenty-five years after the movement is generally considered to have ended.1 In fact, it is difficult nowadays to even page through a recent issue of major periodicals like Rolling Stone or Spin without chancing upon some kind of passing reference to the genre.

Received: 07/04/2015 Accepted: 14/07/2015 Published: 25/09/2015 Last updated: 25/09/2015 How to cite: Ulrich Morgenstern, “Folk Music Research in Austria and Germany: Notes on Terminology, Interdisciplinarity and the Early History of Volksmusikforschung and Vergleichende Musikwissenschaft,” Musicologica Austriaca: Journal for Austrian Music Studies (September 25, 2015) Abstract Discussing controversial issues of Volksmusikforschung in Austria and Germany, the article focuses on European folk music research, with its theory, method, and terminology, in a historical and interdisciplinary perspective. Drawing basically on scholarly traditions of the German- speaking countries and Russia, it shows that key issues of comparative musicology and ethnomusicology (anthropology of music), such as music in culture, participatory observation, function-based genre concepts, and comparative research, were developed in the study of European folk music starting in the late 18th century. The folk music discourse contains two basic trends: (1) folk music as a subject of scholarship (from the Enlightenment to 19th century realism), (2) the folk song as an object of idealization (pre-romantic and romantic period). Against the background of the intellectual history of folk music research, the article enters debates on (a) folk music and ideology (nationalism, social romanticism), (b) Volksmusikforschung in Austria before and after 1918, (c) folk music and popular music as different but interlinked fields of research, and (d) issues of homogeneity. [1] A discussion on terminological issues ofVolksmusikforschung is hardly possible without considering the history of folk music research and related fields, such as comparative musicology, ethnomusicology, and folkloristics.

  • Resonances of Swissness in Switzerland's Streichmusik
    Resonances of Swissness in Switzerland’s Streichmusik Andrea Lieberherr Douglass1 University of Massachusetts Boston Abstract:This article investigates the current resurgence of folk music in Switzerland using the localized practice of Streichmusik (string music originating in the adjoining Appenzell and Toggenburg regions in northeast Switzerland) as an example. I examine the relationship between Streichmusik and Swissness, a concept used in marketing Swiss products and culture. Swissness highlights contemporary Swiss national anxiety around shifting global, political, and economic dynamics as a rise in nationalism encourages identity politics. I argue that Streichmusik is a sonic resonance of Swissness and has been valorized both locally and nationally through the notion of Heimat (homeland) and the trope of nostalgia. Keywords: Switzerland; traditional music; folk music; Swiss national identity; nostalgia; Heimat (homeland); music and politics ** The video of Swiss rapper Bligg’s (a.k.a. Marco Bliggensdorfer’s)1 hit single from 2007, “Volksmusigg,” was produced in collaboration with the folkloric ensemble, Streichmusik Alder. The chorus states, in Swiss-German: ‘Das isch Musig, Volksmusigg, mir sind Stolzmusig’ (‘This is music, folk music, we are proud music’). Then Streichmusik Alder plays ‘Birre, Birre Wegge, Chäs ond Brot’ (‘Pear, pear pastry, cheese and bread’), arguably the most famous and often played Streichmusik piece, sometimes described as a national anthem of the Appenzell, the region in northeast Switzerland where Streichmusik (literally translated as “string music”) originates. A prominent feature of the television performance is bassist Ueli Alder (1922 −2014), in his late eighties at the time and a distinguished figure in Streichmusik.2 In the televised performance, Bligg seems pleased to be sharing the stage with Streichmusik Alder, the most iconic Streichmusik group in Switzerland.
